Comment: This treatment was completely ineffective against my grandmothers ovarian cancer. The treatment was very harsh and caused severe inflammation of the body. Ask your doctor many questions before starting this treatment.

Comment:1999-CA125=2700 and scans. Full hysterectomy and debulking. Started with cisplatin/taxol, switched to carboplatin/taxol due to reaction. After nine mos. 1st recurrence-started doxil with carboplatin. Taken prophylatically every 7 weeks for 8 years. In my 6th yr had a recurrence due to coming off Doxil for about a few months when I went on kidney dialysis due to original cisplatin and we wanted to give kidneys a rest. With recurrence, added carboplatin with doxil. Now back on doxil only (lower dose) and today CA125 is 5.9. Muga scans are taken and I check in with a cardiologist. No heart problems.
